but it has a mikuni (or mukini) carb setup...so i want to swap it back to stock injection.... maybe i can find someone who wants to trade or something...

BUT......hopefully ill be back in the game next week!

The engine sounds good. I think the carb is out of adjustment. The white smoke could be from it running to rich. Nice car jesse!!!!
Thanks Robert

I stand corrected, I'm glad to hear that the engine isn't blown!

Rob I watched your video when you posted it in the track day thread and was awed at how fast it is!

Congrats Jesse! I posted a thread in the FC parts section and it never appeared. I double checked it before I submitted it just to make sure I included all the necessary info since they're so picky about everything now and it still was never posted. The regional sections don't have that moderator approval delay so go ahead and make one of those in the meantime and be sure to specify in it that its for all of 7club, not just the West section.

I love how Jesse always has a project. Welcome back to the Rx7club! As if you really left.

Just a small update on my Fc I'm about to send it to the bodyshop next week or so...this month for sure depends on when I get my exaust back from Evan I guess.

lol..cool video.... looks like you have a bit of flex in the steering wheel.. is that from the quick release? seem like that would be irritating... or who know, maybe it happens to all steering wheels, but we are just having too much fun to notice! lmao
